Another little something I did for my creative project!

apple looking cupcakes, cupcakes with dwarfs on them and lets not forget, the princess herself-- SNOW WHITE!

Snow White- Creative Project

I chose Snow White because I enjoyed reading the fairy tale in Anne Sexton's Transformations. I like how she demonstrated how women typically are more easily dragged into things. We are sensitive and feel like we can trust anyone and everyone when in reality we cant. In my opinion, her version of snow white also demonstrates the traditional role of men; taking care/ protecting women and working. This was shown by the seven dwarfs.

Creative Non-Fiction

Dare to Love
Eliana Osborn

The reason I chose this story was because the title itself grabbed my attention since my anotholy involves several love pieces. I enjoyed the short story because as I hope to someday start a family of my own, I have to realize that it is not a one day thing. Having a baby can have plethora of difficulties, God forbid, but a child can inhance diceases beacause they are new to everything. This mother seems to feel guilty for her baby's health problems. She feels as if she caused his asthma because of her struggles during her short pregnacy. Seeing a baby in these conditions is difficult  to live put one must surpass all obstacles to the best of their ability.

FULL MOON!

Oh Ms. Moon. Tonight, you shine so bright. As I watch you through my window while I lay in bed, i think of the positive things in life and all I have been through. Your blue halo stands out when I give you a blank stare. You, Madame, allow me to turn my favorite night light off--your natural light keeps me safe on cold and lonley nights. As i watch you here from land, others are watching Mr. Sun. I admire you for being able to watch over so many souls at once. Your lights aluminates those in the streets who suffer from lack of shelter. I am sure they also have thoughts similar to mine as they watch you. Oh Ms. Moon.   

A Winter Walk

It was a dark snowy night and many habitants were out taking a walk. the snow was like cotton balls spread all over the ground and covering tree tops. Dangerous as it is to be out in this weather, some people enjoy is while others have no other choice. Those covered in white blankets have no transportation and must run errands. The others are simply taking a stroll in the park admiring the snowflakes above and all around them. Towns people have different thoughts about what should be done during what weather.  

Don't You Wanna Stay by Jason Aldean

I really hate to let this moment go
touching your skin and your hair falling slow
when a goodbye kiss, feels like this

don't you wanna stay here a little while
don't you wanna hold each other tight
don't you wanna fall asleep with me tonight
don't you wanna stay here a little while
we can make forever feel this way
don't you wanna stay

lets take it slow i don't want too move to fast
i don't wanna just make love, i wanna make love last
when your up this high, it's a sad goodbye

oh yeah!!! oh it feels so perfect baby.. don't you wanna stay here a little while..
Don't you wanna stay.. yeah yeah yeahhh yeah yeah yeahhh
"Don't You Wanna Stay" can be described as a poem not only because of the ryme it gives in certain verses, but also becasue of the similie in the first stanza. The comparison of a goodbye kiss and the touch of skin and hair falling slow. This song also has deliberate repetition of a phrase in the second stanza which is known as Anaphora. In the 12th verse, "when you're up this high, it's a sad goodbye," we can considered a metaphor; height and a goodbye being described as eachother.

Love Poem for my Anthology

A Red, Red Rose by Robert Burns

The reason I chose this poem is becasue it decribes the amount of love a person has for another. On a personal level, I can relate to this poem, but can not actually live the love life becasue of family issues. Reading about love is what most grabs my attention, thus it is why I chose this poem.

Rhinoceros

1. Metaphor: lonleyness is being isolated in Mars.


2. I have been a rhinoceros when I was working at Subway, night shift, and it was just another employee and I and I did not want them to help me with my job becasue I wanted to do things my way. My coworker was lazy and never did the job right; I am OCD with work getting done the correct way.

Six Word Story: Jesikuh.

My smile is not always happiness.

Question 32--> brief answer.

"Briar Rose" has a plethora of water imagery. Why?

-Water can be seen as a symbol. Perhaps symbolizing life or a change--the changes throughtout the years of Briar Rose and the life she lived even after the fairy put her under a spell after her fifteenth year.   

Anne Sexton's Little Red Ridding Hood

LITTLE RED-CAP [LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD]

Once upon a time there was a dear little girl who was loved by everyone who looked at her, but most of all by her grandmother, and there was nothing that she would not have given to the child. Once she gave her a little cap of red velvet, which suited her so well that she would never wear anything else; so she was always called 'Little Red-Cap.'
One day her mother said to her: 'Come, Little Red-Cap, here is a piece of cake and a bottle of wine; take them to your grandmother, she is ill and weak, and they will do her good. Set out before it gets hot, and when you are going, walk nicely and quietly and do not run off the path, or you may fall and break the bottle, and then your grandmother will get nothing; and when you go into her room, don't forget to say, "Good morning", and don't peep into every corner before you do it.'
'I will take great care,' said Little Red-Cap to her mother, and gave her hand on it.
The grandmother lived out in the wood, half a league from the village, and just as Little Red-Cap entered the wood, a wolf met her. Red-Cap did not know what a wicked creature he was, and was not at all afraid of him.
'Good day, Little Red-Cap,' said he.
'Thank you kindly, wolf.'
'Whither away so early, Little Red-Cap?'
'To my grandmother's.'
'What have you got in your apron?'
'Cake and wine; yesterday was baking-day, so poor sick grandmother is to have something good, to make her stronger.'
'Where does your grandmother live, Little Red-Cap?'
'A good quarter of a league farther on in the wood; her house stands under the three large oak-trees, the nut-trees are just below; you surely must know it,' replied Little Red-Cap.
The wolf thought to himself: 'What a tender young creature! what a nice plump mouthful—she will be better to eat than the old woman. I must act craftily, so as to catch both.' So he walked for a short time by the side of Little Red-Cap, and then he said: 'See, Little Red-Cap, how pretty the flowers are about here—why do you not look round? I believe, too, that you do not hear how sweetly the little birds are singing; you walk gravely along as if you were going to school, while everything else out here in the wood is merry.'
Little Red-Cap raised her eyes, and when she saw the sunbeams dancing here and there through the trees, and pretty flowers growing everywhere, she thought: 'Suppose I take grandmother a fresh nosegay; that would please her too. It is so early in the day that I shall still get there in good time'; and so she ran from the path into the wood to look for flowers. And whenever she had picked one, she fancied that she saw a still prettier one farther on, and ran after it, and so got deeper and deeper into the wood.
Meanwhile the wolf ran straight to the grandmother's house and knocked at the door.
'Who is there?'
'Little Red-Cap,' replied the wolf. 'She is bringing cake and wine; open the door.'
'Lift the latch,' called out the grandmother, 'I am too weak, and cannot get up.'
The wolf lifted the latch, the door sprang open, and without saying a word he went straight to the grandmother's bed, and devoured her. Then he put on her clothes, dressed himself in her cap laid himself in bed and drew the curtains.
Little Red-Cap, however, had been running about picking flowers, and when she had gathered so many that she could carry no more, she remembered her grandmother, and set out on the way to her.
She was surprised to find the cottage-door standing open, and when she went into the room, she had such a strange feeling that she said to herself: 'Oh dear! how uneasy I feel today, and at other times I like being with grandmother so much.' She called out: 'Good morning,' but received no answer; so she went to the bed and drew back the curtains. There lay her grandmother with her cap pulled far over her face, and looking very strange.
'Oh! grandmother,' she said, 'what big ears you have!'
'The better to hear you with, my child,' was the reply.
'But, grandmother, what big eyes you have!' she said.
'The better to see you with, my dear.'
'But, grandmother, what large hands you have!'
'The better to hug you with.'
'Oh! but, grandmother, what a terrible big mouth you have!'
'The better to eat you with!'
And scarcely had the wolf said this, than with one bound he was out of bed and swallowed up Red-Cap.
When the wolf had appeased his appetite, he lay down again in the bed, fell asleep and began to snore very loud. The huntsman was just passing the house, and thought to himself: 'How the old woman is snoring! I must just see if she wants anything.' So he went into the room, and when he came to the bed, he saw that the wolf was lying in it. 'Do I find you here, you old sinner!' said he. 'I have long sought you!' Then just as he was going to fire at him, it occurred to him that the wolf might have devoured the grandmother, and that she might still be saved, so he did not fire, but took a pair of scissors, and began to cut open the stomach of the sleeping wolf. When he had made two snips, he saw the little Red-Cap shining, and then he made two snips more, and the little girl sprang out, crying: 'Ah, how frightened I have been! How dark it was inside the wolf'; and after that the aged grandmother came out alive also, but scarcely able to breathe. Red-Cap, however, quickly fetched great stones with which they filled the wolf's belly, and when he awoke, he wanted to run away, but the stones were so heavy that he collapsed at once, and fell dead.
Then all three were delighted. The huntsman drew off the wolf's skin and went home with it; the grandmother ate the cake and drank the wine which Red-Cap had brought, and revived, but Red-Cap thought to herself: 'As long as I live, I will never by myself leave the path, to run into the wood, when my mother has forbidden me to do so.'
It also related that once when Red-Cap was again taking cakes to the old grandmother, another wolf spoke to her, and tried to entice her from the path. Red-Cap, however, was on her guard, and went straight forward on her way, and told her grandmother that she had met the wolf, and that he had said 'good morning' to her, but with such a wicked look in his eyes, that if they had not been on the public road she was certain he would have eaten her up. 'Well,' said the grandmother, 'we will shut the door, that he may not come in.' Soon afterwards the wolf knocked, and cried: 'Open the door, grandmother, I am Little Red-Cap, and am bringing you some cakes.' But they did not speak, or open the door, so the grey-beard stole twice or thrice round the house, and at last jumped on the roof, intending to wait until Red-Cap went home in the evening, and then to steal after her and devour her in the darkness. But the grandmother saw what was in his thoughts. In front of the house was a great stone trough, so she said to the child: 'Take the pail, Red-Cap; I made some sausages yesterday, so carry the water in which I boiled them to the trough.' Red-Cap carried until the great trough was quite full. Then the smell of the sausages reached the wolf, and he sniffed and peeped down, and at last stretched out his neck so far that he could no longer keep his footing and began to slip, and slipped down from the roof straight into the great trough, and was drowned. But Red-Cap went joyously home, and no one ever did anything to harm her again.

- The reason Anne Sexton chose this tale for Transformations is because she wanted the public to realize the respect one must have for the people older than us. The way she publishes the wolf's death can be seen as the punishment for not respecting the grandmother. This is just my point of view.

"Auguries of Innocence"

To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.

1.  What does the stanza mean? 
-This stanza means that everyone has a different persepective about life. We all see life in a diverse manner; it is like having a model of the world in our hands and each live life in our own way.
2.  How does Blake use a literary device to convey that meaning?
-The author, William Blake, uses symbol to convey this meaning by refering to heaven. Each individual has a different thought about heaven, thus this reflects back on the plethora of thoughts. the wildfire can be recognized as a symbol aswell meaning freedom because it is "wild."
